I am eastbound to Westville and my heart is feeling light

I’m traveling the highway in the middle of the night

Fiddle in the back seat my eyes upon the road

I am eastbound to Westville, Oklahoma’s in my soul


Been living in the city

Hoping for my dreams to grow

Too many people all together in one place

They get too scared to say ‘hello’

Been living in the city

Scraping for my piece of pie

Crowded lonely among strangers

‘Til I can’t remember why


I am eastbound to Westville, all my troubles left behind

The further down the road I go, the easier my mind

My fiddle in the backseat and my eyes upon the road

I am Eastbound to Westville, Oklahoma’s in my soul


Buried in my memory

Someone I used to know,

He gave his heart and hand to me

So many years ago

I hear he’s on his own again

I know how that can be

Remembering his honest smile

Will he remember me


I am Eastbound to Westville with a longing in my heart

There’s nothing else to do for it but make another start

Fiddle in the backseat and my eyes upon the road

I am Eastbound to Westville Oklahoma’s in my soul


They say you can’t go home again

But what am I to do?

I’m not the girl I was back then

And to my heart I must be true


I am Eastbound to Westville my hopes are riding high

The stars are fading back into the orange and yellow sky

Fiddle in the back seat, my eyes upon the road

I am eastbound to Westville, Oklahoma in my soul
